Next July 4th David and Victoria Beckham celebrate their 25 years of marriage. A union, apparently solid, but above all, a great and very profitable business for both. But, as journalist Tom Bower has just revealed, that is exclusively what keeps them united today. As Bower reveals, The former soccer player and the designer have been going through a serious marital crisis for eight years and they live, in reality, separated with almost no communication.
«Although they can’t hide their separate lives, they were united in supporting the brand“, Bower assured the British newspaper “The Mirror”, which has exclusively previewed a chapter of the book The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, which comes out today , just a few months after hit Netflix documentary Beckham.
The docureality showed the apparent absolute complicity with the former Spice Girl. But, according to Bower’s research, whose publication he would have tried to avoid the marriage by all means, Everything you see in the series on the streaming platform is nothing more than a farce to feed a business.
Remote business
And the crisis is not the result of the footballer’s recognized infidelity with Rebecca Loos, during his time at Real Madrid, and which came to light in 2004, if not later. As the book reveals, the problems arose around 2016, at which time they decided to lead separate lives: he, in Miami; her, in London. «They were only dedicated to maintaining a business relationship from a distance» says Bower.
According to the journalist, even now in business the relationship is not fluid, and he slips a moment as the origin of the conflict: the designer asked her husband to return to the United Kingdom to have dinner at her brand’s store on Dover Street, in the of London Fashion Week. «When the event was over, I’m sure he wished he’d stayed in the United States.», assesses Bower, «because David sat the entire time without exchanging a glance with Victoria», which fueled the rumors of those present, some of whom told Bower that the couple had had «a recent racy fight ».
According to the journalist, David even accused his wife of “waging a media war” against him.. And the footballer was not far behind in discrediting the mother of his children.
According to the author, “David’s status and survival would have vanished had it not been for Victoria’s efforts for maintaining the illusion of a happy family.
Be that as it may The myth of a united and strong marriage fades away. Whether it is true or not, we will possibly never know because they are not going to deny it.
